Welcome to
World Bioenergy 2012
Today, the markets for renewable energy are growing at an enormous pace. The development is
now so fast that it is almost impossible to keep track. World Bioenergy 2012 gives you the latest
update on the current and future developments in the bioenergy sector.
The conferences World Bioenergy, with World Pellets and World Biorefinery, bring together speakers
and exhibitors from 38 nations, illustrating the truly global character of the event. The opportunity
for our participants to also visit the World Pellets and World Biorefinery conferences, gives
added value to the event. The whole industrial development from energy and electricity to refining
biomass to green chemicals and biofuels will bring new dimensions to green growth and the development
of a bio-based economy.
Sustainable and environmentally sound renewable energy solutions are not enough to win market
shares. The market is evolving and the solutions also need to be cost efficient, profitable and
without high risks.
In Sweden, the Swedish Bioenergy Association, Svebio, has promoted bioenergy for more than
thirty years, and bioenergy is now the largest energy source covering 32 percent of Sweden’s
energy use. In Europe bioenergy stands for two thirds of all renewable energy and is forecasted
to keep its share as renewables will grow during the coming decade. The same pattern is seen
globally. The reason for bioenergy’s strong standing is that bioenergy offers many of the most cost
efficient solutions. World Bioenergy 2012 presents many of these solutions. The conference, the
trade fair, the match making and the study tours are the ultimate meeting point for those who want
to stay, or become, part of the fast growing global bioenergy community.
What makes the World Bioenergy, World Pellets and World Biorefiniery conferences different from
many other world conferences is that these conferences are arranged “by the industry for the
industry”, not only taking you from know-how to show-how, but also letting you “know-who” to
make business with.
We look forward to seeing you at the 6th edition of World Bioenergy in Jönköping on 29 – 31 May 2012!

Main sponsor:
Göteborg Energi alerts its major
contributions in the bioenergy field
World Bioenergy is an excellent forum
where the path to a sustainable society
is discussed. As bioenergy is a
key sector for us and our customers, it
is natural for us to be the main sponsor
for the event. It is also a way for
us to alert our major contributions
in the bioenergy field, where biogas
is an important renewable product,
says Lotta Brändström, Managing
Director of Göteborg Energi.
